Birding Field Trip-Washington Park, Anacortes

Sunday, October 20, 2024   Washington Park, Anacortes; 8:30 am-10:30 am approx.

Trip Leader:  Desirae Golis; contact Colleen at fieldtrips@skagitaudubon.org

This field trip will be geared to beginners, but those with more experience will find plenty to see as well. Being on a paved road, closed until 10 a.m. to cars, it is especially suited to folks who have difficulty walking on rugged trails.  The first half mile is level, so anyone with limited mobility or in a wheelchair is invited to be in the group for this part of the walk. Seabirds, shorebirds, woodpeckers, and songbirds are among the birds we'll seek.

Meet at the parking lot near the restroom, just past the boat trailer lot, at 8:30 a.m., and plan on two hours to walk the loop road.

To get to Washington Park follow the San Juan Ferry signs through Anacortes (at the roundabout go north on Commercial to 12th, which becomes Oakes Avenue.) At the traffic light just above the ferry, keep to the left and continue straight on Sunset Avenue to its end at the park. Bring binoculars and scope if you have one, dress for the weather. We'll go rain or shine.  Desirae Golis will be our field trip leader.  For more information contact Colleen at fieldtrips@skagitaudubon.org.
